koto Koto is one of the main Japanese traditional instruments and a distant relative of kantele.

Eva brought the instrument from Japan in 2000 after studying koto playing in Sapporo for one year. Even if koto is Eva's "musical hobby" she plays koto every now and then in different kinds of projects, e.g. the debut concert in the Sibelius-Academy (2005), theater and radio plays and events of Japanese music and culture.
